Carthage

3.0
Carthage(3.0) was founded by the small group of players being led by nervyzombie. Carthage quickly became very succesful and populous faction, effectively building a vast empire in the Mediterranean. At it's peak Carthaginian Empire had population of 56, making it the largest faction in /int/craft history back then. For most of it's existence Carthage was governed by the Council of Carthage, though due to the strong position of nervyzombie as Shophet actual authority and independence of the Council is arguable. Multiple internal issues(power struggle, treason, lack of proper communication), overly agressive policy and severe conflicts with prejudiced and incompetent administration of 3.0 all resulted in numerous falls of Carthage and actual fight for survival of the faction.

Founding
The city of Carthage was founded by a group of experienced /int/craft players, most of them - nervyzombie, infamau5, Heshi, redskull formerly belonged to Byzantium(2.0). Quickly, new settlements, Barbaroi and Sardinia(owned by Feddos) joined the nation. In the city of Carthage, after replacing the initial structures, construction of the massive city walls and the most recognizeable landmark of Carthage(3.0) - the harbor resembling the historical Carthaginian one, has started. To prevent potential growth of absolutist regime, Council of Carthage was created with nervyzombie, Jurri, Feddos and infamau5 as it's members. Nervyzombie was chosen as Shophet and the formal leader of the nation.
